Goheung County in Jeonnam-Gwangju (County Governor Gong Young-min) announced on the 10th that it will operate a food market featuring a variety of dishes to showcase the area's abundant local cuisine to visitors attending the Citron Festival.

The food market will offer the so-called "Nine Flavors of Goheung," including charcoal-grilled fish, grilled gizzard shad, and Spanish mackerel sashimi, as well as distinctive dishes made with local ingredients, such as Goheung Korean beef bulgogi pizza and Goheung craft beer.


In particular, rice cooked with freshly harvested Goheung rice will be served with every meal at the festival venue to highlight the quality of local agricultural products and offer visitors a thoughtfully prepared Goheung-style meal.


Organizers are also working to foster a festival culture free of price gouging. All menu items will be priced reasonably in the 10,000-won range, and the actual food for sale will be displayed in front of the stalls so visitors can check its portion size and quality before ordering.


The food market at the Goheung Citron Festival has earned praise from visitors each year for its generous portions and reasonable prices. This year, the county aims to increase visitor satisfaction by highlighting Goheung's characteristic generosity and the appeal of its local cuisine.



An official from Goheung County's Tourism Policy Office said, "The pleasure of sampling Goheung's signature foods all in one place will be another attraction of the festival. We will work to widely promote the excellence of the region's cuisine through the Goheung Citron Festival and establish Goheung as one of Korea's leading culinary travel destinations."
